CHAPTER XIV.

Meanwhile, Tad, possessed by one
dominant thought, which had flashed
across his mind at Mr.. MaSon's men
ton of the loss of his wife's fur-lined
circular, was speeding through the
half darkness up the street in the di-
rection of Potter's.
For, an hour or so before, while
walking the hotel piazza, pending the
arrival of the stage, Tad's eyes,
which, generally speaking, were every
where, happened to glance through
one of the long windows into the
dingy apartments dignificd by the name
of Ladies' Parlor," where. rather to
his surprise, he noticed a richly attired
lady, with vail before her face, sitting
on the worn, hair-cloth sofa. Guests
were not common at Potter's-par-
ticularly well-dressed ladies-and Tad.
secretly marveling, gave this one more
particular attention Is he walked to and
fro. One thing struck him as being
rather peculiar, which was that, de-
spite the warmth of the July evening,
the stranger wore over her other ap-
parel long silk circular. very similar
to the one which had played so impor-
tant part in his own exodus from the
city. even to the fur lining, ST which
he caught a tiny glimpse.
Joe Whitney had joined him in his
walk, and, noticing the direction of his
gaze. had whispered confdentially:
"Say. that's my passenger-Potter's
goin' to give me quarter to drive her
over 70 Middleboro, to catch the
train cause he can't spare the hoStler.
She's in 4 big hurry" added Joe, with
4 gieeful chuckle, $50 they're harness
ing up Brown Pete. and there isn't but
one better trotter in the stable-that'S
Potter's sorrel mare. and she's regu-
lar tiier." For Joe, ike most boys,
was very fond of a fast horse, and, be-
ing an excellent driver for his years,
obtained gratuitous rides and occasion
al quarters by taking occasional pas
sengers TO their different destinations
for Mr.. Potter.
But the arrival of the stage, with Mr..
Anterior and one other passenger
small, silent man, who only spoke in
monosyllables, whose features Tad
could not distinguish in the gathering
darkness-droTe Joe's communication
and the mysterious occupant of the par
Tor, alike, from his mind, till after the
discovery Of the robbery of Mrs. Ma

ing suddenness that Joe went flying
into Il small duck puddle by the road
side, while Edwards-skirts, cloak and
all-sailed impetuouSly over fence,
and landed in a field beyond it.
Mr.. Blossom, with Il joyous eXclama-
ton, began to pull up the sorrel mare
no easy task, can assure you.
And Tad, who. despite his excite
mcnt, had never taken his eyes from
the one object of pursuit, uttered i
CRY; for, before the buggy came to a
full stop, he saw Edwards gathering
himself up and starting in Il ridiculous
run across the field.
"He Sha'n't get away!" cried Tad,
whose nerves, wrought up to the
highest pitch, would have ventured
any thing to save the prize, so nearly
within their grasp. Before the words
had left his lips, Tad had slipped over
the back of the buggy, scaled the fence
like 4 squirrel and was following close
at Edwards heels. while Mr.. Blossom :
nimble feet were gaining the fence it
self. Like most boys, Tad was a good
runner, while Edwards, encountered
by the clinging skirts, made very in
different progress, even though holding
them us high as he could And i'll an
other moment Tad had seized the end
of the long circular, which was stream
ing out behind like black wings.
"Gi'rle the sachel.' painted Tad, and
with the words the cIoak-claSp parted
Tad fell on the back of his head,
holding the fur-lined circular in his
hand, while Edwards plunged forward
caught his foot in the front breadths
of Mrs. Mason's best black silk, and
went down On his nose in highly I'M
digniiied manner
When Tad regained his feet. Mr..
Blossom was rather humorOusly re-
@arding a very shame-faced individual
attired in Il torn and mud-stained
black silk dress, which entirely failed
to conceal pair of very masculine
boots and trousers. Mr.. Edwards
wrists were adorned with steel hand
cuffs, and his features wore such a
downcast look that Tad's tender hear
was touched.
If he'll only give the rest of tie
things up, hadn't Yen better let him go,
MIR. Blossom?" suggested Tad, in 4 low
tone: but the detective shook his head.
Hes wanted in Boston, for some
thing more serious than stealing" said
Mr.. Blossom, gravely. And then he
handed Tad the recovered sachel, to-
gether with Mrs. Mason's jewelry,
which he had taken from Edwards
pocket with professional dexterity.
"If there's any reward offered for all
this, you've earned Your share of it, :"
the detective remarked; and then the
three made their way back in compar-
alive silence.
Joe had fished himself from the
duck puddle, embarrassed Brown Pete
from the overturned vehicle, which wa;
not badly damaged. and when the
singular trio regained him in the road
he was scraping himself with stick
while the two horses, carefully blank
etcd. stood. with dropping heads ant
rocking sides, by the roadside.

CHAPTER XIV.


Mr.. Blossoms lips were tightly com
pressed, as he glanced from the flying
team to the distant village lights; for,
though the sorrel mare was doing her
best, it was very evident that she was
beginning to be ''winded;" while
Brown Pete, driven at a less rate Of
speed at the beginning of the journey,
seemed nearly as flesh as ever.
You'd better pull up, Edwards
I'm bound to have you" called Mr..
Blossom, in q strong, cleas voice, that
rose above the rafting Wheels.
First catch your hare shouted a
hooking voice, as the speaker. whose
! plumed hat had dropped of. turned or
the seat and looked back. He had
snatched the reins from Joe's hands
at the first indications of pursuit, and
was plying the whip numerically,
while Joe, in a seeming agony of terror
at discovering the dangerous character
of his passenger, had dropped into the
bottom of the buggy.
But Joe was no coward, and was
quick-witted withal. As he heard the
detectives shouted remark and his un'
pleasant companion reply, he hesitated
one brief second, and then, reaching
up, seized the right-hand reign in both
hands - pulling on it with all lis
strength.
OF course. the inevitable result fol.
lowed. Brown Pete swerved wildly tc
the right-the forward wheel turned
under the buggy-bottom, ano

Mr.. Anterior rose to his feet with

Funny Incident.

Maj. O.. F. Guthrie, talking to a
reporter in ST. Louis, related the
following! One. of the funniest
things at the Confederate reunion at
Mexico was when old Uucle Ben
Haversick came to me and asked to
be assigned to a place in the line.
He Is SO years of age, too old to be
reconstructed, and the worst old rebel
in fourteen States. ! made him an
aid on my staff, and pretty oon he
appeared On horseback, and rode all
along the line OF the forming column.
As he reached Carmody's division of
about Sixty members of the Grand
Army of Republic the old fellow
sings out, "Who are you, boys?'
Carmody grasped the situation, and
replied promptly. This is all that
is left of the Louisiana Tigers"
That's a good enough place for me-"
and, swinging into line, he rode over
the whole line of march with the
Yankee division, to the amazement
of every Confederate in Mexico.
